How can a bet link be limited to a specific number of clicks per month in PHP?

To limit a bet link to a specific number of clicks per month in PHP, you can store the click count in a database along with the timestamp of each click. Before allowing a new click, you can check the database to see if the maximum number of clicks for the month has been reached. If it has, you can prevent further clicks on the link. 

// Assuming you have a database connection established

// Get the current month
$currentMonth = date('m');

// Check if the user has exceeded the maximum number of clicks for the month
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as click_count FROM clicks_table WHERE user_id = :user_id AND MONTH(click_date) = :currentMonth";
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($query);
$stmt->bindParam(':user_id', $userId);
$stmt->bindParam(':currentMonth', $currentMonth);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->fetch();

if($result['click_count'] >= $maxClicksPerMonth) {
    // Limit reached, prevent further clicks
    echo "You have reached the maximum number of clicks for this month.";
} else {
    // Allow the click and insert a new record in the database
    $query = "INSERT INTO clicks_table (user_id, click_date) VALUES (:user_id, NOW())";
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare($query);
    $stmt->bindParam(':user_id', $userId);
    $stmt->execute();
}
